Sample itinerary

A sample week sailing from Volos

A suggested seven-night route around the Gulf of Volos and northern Evia, from Milina to Paleo Trikeri, Orei, Achillio and Amaliopoli.

  1. Day1

    Arrive at Volos

    Fly from the UK to Volos and transfer to Volos harbour for embarkation.

  2. Day2

    Milina (16nm)

    On the Pagasetic Gulf in the south west of the Pelion peninsula, the fishing village of Milina is a perfect first stop to soak up the holiday atmosphere.

  3. Day3

    Paleo Trikeri (8nm)

    A small, car-free island in the Gulf of Volos and a quiet retreat. Stock up before you go, as there are no shops, just two tavernas serving the freshest seafood.

  4. Day4

    Orei, Evia (13nm)

    A picturesque harbour town in northern Evia. Visit the Venetian and Turkish castles and the marble bull in the town square, recovered from a beach in the 1960s.

  5. Day5

    Achillio (11nm)

    Set in a deep, long bay with wonderfully sheltered moorings. Stop by the small maritime museum, then enjoy a glass of local wine in a bayside bar as twilight sets in.

  6. Day6

    Amaliopoli (12nm)

    A traditional fishing village in a natural amphitheatre of pine trees and olive groves, with a clean, shallow beach. Little known to overseas visitors, it is a popular escape for Greeks.

  7. Day7

    Back to Volos

    Return to one of Greece’s largest and most colourful cities and make the most of your final evening with live music, local food and the industrial architecture the city is famous for.

  8. Day8

    Disembark

    Disembark and transfer to Volos airport.
